Several Injured in Interstate 5 Collision 

One person died as the result of a four-vehicle collision on Wednesday in Woodland. 

The crash occurred on December 22nd within the southbound lanes of the Interstate 5 Freeway. 

Per CHP, four vehicles were involved in the crash, however, it is unclear at this time what caused it. 

Sadly, one person died as a result. Their name is being withheld pending notification of kin. 

There were also several others injured upon impact. 

Additionally, authorities shut down the southbound lanes for a period of time following the accident. 

The crash remains under investigation. 

Multi-vehicle collisions are typically more common in busy intersections or highways. Speeding, weather, distractions, and drowsy or intoxicated driving are main reasons negligent drivers cause these types of wrecks. 

When it comes to filing a claim with this type of collision, it gets difficult. This is because multiple vehicles are involved so determining liability can take much longer. Multi-vehicle collision claims are more complex due to numerous victims, multiple negligent drivers, cross-claims and insufficient insurance.
